20. Forms of assessment

During the semester, two partial written exams are provided (at the middle and at the end of the semester, lasting 90 minutes) and a practical project (after the theoretical classes). The points from the partial exams, the points form the project work, the points from the homework assignments and the points from the study activity. In the planned exam sessions, a written exam is taken (duration 90 minutes). The final grade includes the points from the written exam, the points of the project work, the points from the homework assignments and the points from the study activity. It is not allowed to use books, scripts, manuscripts or notes of any kind during the exam, as well as a calculator, mobile phone, tablet or any other electronic device.
